Last year I captured this down at the Lake of the Ozarks. Wasn't for the 4th, but for a week-long fireworks convention.

Then someone explained to me how hosed up the animals in the area of these shows get from fireworks and I felt like poo poo for being a part of it.



There's a big shindig happening today in town and they're doing fireworks. It's right up the street from me, so I may go to do some photos.

What's a shindig?

The actual digging of shins is generally frowned upon.

Yea, now I'm curious the etymology of the word.

One source says:

Shindig is a word that means "a dance, a ball; rowdy party, lively gathering". The word was first used in the Western U.S. colloquial in 1871. It probably comes from the earlier slang shindy, which means "a spree, row, disturbance, merrymaking". Shindy was first used in the 1820s. The origin of the word is obscure, but some sources maintain that both shindig and shindy may have derived from an even earlier Scottish game called shinty, which was a type of hockey.

I'm very happy with how this turned out, cos after I posted the first pics, the vet said, yeah sure, bring it in, we'll kill it for you. I thought I was gonna have to ghost the thread.

i have foxes and raccoons regularly hang out on my deck, and i asked one of the local wildlife warden guys what i should do if i see one of them sick or injured. "either shoot it or call me up and i'll come round and shoot it for you"

i do not call that guy

I haven't lived in a lot of different towns or anything, but I'm trying to imagine people actually putting away the recreational explosives for the year because the holiday is past, and it is just not happening. not the Muricans I live by.

putting them away seems more dangerous to me than just exploding all of them so you have none left

e: Oh! When time when I was a kid I went on a camping road trip out of state with my dad.

We had gotten like, some quick to-go pizza from in town, then later we went out to the wilderness or whatever the gently caress,,
OK TLDR ,, I put pizza leftovers just on a lil plate in the middle of our camp and a bit later,,, a raccoon, slowly up to where we are... but stays at the very, very, edge of the light. Then they just sort of.. slowly... outstretched their arm, flipped the plate off the stump, grabbed the pizza leftovers and vamoosed outta there😩😅

Raccoons are cute as the bajeepers! (another word that you'll have to ask about, with questionable results.) But they are kind of destructive and a nuisance, and . . . oh hell. They're cute!

I still haven't found the last pair of my glasses, I only wear at my computer desk, that I took off 3 years ago. Although, a small and newly mobile human might have had a part in them not being near the computer anymore.

Anyways. I just realized that the fireworks outside sound like two dumpsters filled with gravel loving.
